Rating: 5/5Kingston reliability!

Other Thoughts: Bought this as part of a rebuild of my HTPC.I specifically wanted the extra-low profile, then decided I wasn't going to use that particular heatsink/fan unit (extra low and wide) on the CPU. Still, the low-profile RAM doesn't hurt.Also, the renowned Kingston compatibility came in handy. The motherboard recognized the RAM and set the right timings automatically. I don't always buy Kingston RAM, but when compatibility is paramount, they're on the top of my list.

Rating: 4/5Good low-profile memory

Pros: -really low profile (like REALLY low profile as in it doesn't even rise above the slot DiMM lock-in things on the side)

-Kingston quality

-Abnormal speed for what this is. Never expected such low profile memory to be this fast and responsive.

Cons: Have tried absolutely everything but this kit just won't OC at all. A bump up to 1600MHz with minor/no adjustments to voltage and it should be able to run at same timings on 1600MHz or even just slightly higher timings. Never had any kit ever not be able to OC at all. Even cheap OEM infineon/hynix RAM used in prebuilts can OC up a little.

And yes my build is tested and memory and CPU both OC just fine (used 2x4GB 1600MHz corsair vengeance DiMMs from a friends PC to test it out and slightly adjusted timings and clock rate from 1600MHz to 1866MHz and it booted up just fine and no crashes or BSOD.

Other Thoughts: May consider buying a second set of this anyway as at 1333MHz it is quite responsive for what applications that uses even in memory leaks on programs like fraps or deluge (one time got an extremely rare teamspeak 3 memory leak that got up to about 5GB in size on its own with 3GB already in use which used almost all of RAM) that run RAM past 50% usage these things still stay pretty solid.

Just to sum it up, once the price goes down from $82 to around maybe $60-$48 (fire at one of the hynix facilities last october caused RAM prices to soar and the facility that caught on fire just opened up this november so they're slowly going down again) would recommend this as a good kit of low-profile DiMMs for maybe micro-atx/itx builds or people who like a big cooler.

Only way that wouldn't recommend this is that if the samsung green 2x4GB 1600MHz kits were produced again. Those DiMMs were the RAM of the titans and nothing compares to it.

Specs:

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 (rev. 3.0)

CPU: FX-8350 @ 4.3GHz (cooled and OCed lightly using an arctic freezer pro 7 rev. 2 and with the magical powers of the silicon draw)

GPU: XFX AMD 7970 Black Edition

PSU: Rosewill Green 80+ Bronze Certified 630W

RAM: what do you think?

Case: Fractal Design Define R4
